We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit.

Today I heard my heart screeching like a subway train
loudly enough to remind me it was still human
loudly enough to hurt

Now you have made loneliness
holy and useful
and no longer needed
now
your light shines very brightly
but I want you
to know
your darkness also
rich
and beyond fear.

May I never remember reasons
for my spirit’s safety
may I never forget
the warning of my woman’s flesh
weeping at the new moon
may I never lose
that terror
that keeps me brave
